QUANTUM STATISTICAL AUTOMATA

"Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it
- in a decade, a century, or a millennium - we will all say to each other, how
could it have been otherwise? How could we have been so stupid?"

-John Archibald Wheeler

“Reality is nothing but a mathematical structure, literally”.

In this site I shall derive the laws of nature from a simple mathematical system
that forces itself upon us because it is the only system that lead to a
dynamical universe. Such an idea has long been suspected to varying degrees by
different scientists and philosophers from past to present. As evidence mounted
stronger, advocates albeit few have argued for the cause. Max Tegmark of MIT has
been the leading proponent of such hypothesis.

Because our understanding of nature has grown tremendously in the past hundred
years or so, it was the scientists in the field who got to consider that nature
looks like it has more than this casual relation with mathematics. It was not
just the suggestion of that casual relation but also the deeper understanding of
how nature seems to be constructed. While we don’t understand a lot of things
about nature, it was this comprehendible thing about it that made many
scientists n class=GramE>make that connection.

The quote of Wigner’s “Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural
Sciences” is very well known and pointed to as one of the first hints. Another
hint you can see in the classic textbook by Wheeler , Misner and Thorne
GRAVITATION where the first attempts were made to drive the law of physics by
logic which they called pre-calculus. As our knowledge increased more people got
to consider it like Wolfram in New Kind of Science, Conaway’s game of life, all
kinds of automata ideas, Fractals and not the least as we got hints from how
computers generate virtual realities. But the grand slam belonged to Dr. Tegmark
with his MUH. So this idea did not happen in one go but in a continuous fashion.
But the man who put that in words that I think is most beautiful is wheeler.
